Anthony clutched the steering wheel tightly, his face now looked like a hungry tiger. Emaciated, fierce and cruel.“If it weren’t for you intervening, how would I and my project end up like this! If it wasn’t for you saying those words at the Smith family party, if it wasn’t for you blocking Major General Nicolas from investing in the project, if it wasn’t because of the machine, everything would be different!Anthony gritted his teeth. The image of Joseph smiling triumphantly kept appearing in his mind. It seems that the name Joseph has become a huge obsession for Anthony.“I will definitely not lose to you! I must make you taste pain!” Anthony’s eyes became more and more fierce. It was red and opaque. His nails dug into every fiber of his body. A sinister thought also began to appear inside the beast.Joseph here also gradually adapted to his new home. He met a neighbor named Mars. Mr. Mars lives right across from Joseph’s apartment building. He often stops by, and every time he sto
In recent days, the focus of public opinion belongs to Anderson company. If just a few days ago the press still spent a lot of good words on Anderson company’s new project, this time they turned around 180 degrees. Anderson Company is suspected of selling counterfeit goods. Hundreds of people simultaneously filed denunciations with the government. And of course, that became a “piece of cake” for the press to tear apart. Still on the front page of the newspapers, still the Anderson company. However, this time the article’s title was: “Anderson and the risk of facing the law.”At this time, Anderson company’s internal affairs became chaotic. They are like ants running in a pan of fire.“Hey Mr. Chairman, didn’t you say there would be a way to resolve this smoothly? So what is this? “A high-ranking officer in the Anderson company pointed the finger at Mr. Tony and blamed him.Mr. Tony is the leader, he cannot deny responsibility for everything that happens. Not to mention, if this case d
“So am I blaming him?” The woman looked at Charlotte and frowned. Trying to appear extremely uncomfortable with Charlotte’s argument.“I do not mean that. I’m just afraid that someone with an evil heart will take advantage of the opportunity that Anderson is in trouble and add another spark to the fire!The woman heard that and said nothing. Perhaps deep down in her heart, she was also shaken.Anthony also spoke at this time“I know this is really hard for you to accept. The threatening letters, I never knew existed.”Pausing for a moment, Anthony continued.“This matter is not difficult to investigate. I will let my company’s IT department check the shipping address of that package. I believe that if we know the sender’s IP address, we can completely find his identity. How do you feel?”The woman didn’t say anything when she heard that. She seemed to implicitly agree with Anthony’s proposal.Anderson company’s IT department quickly got to work. After a series of operations, they fina
“ Friend!” Rebecca was so angry that she gritted her teeth“Do you have anything interesting? In the end, he’s just a coward hanging around women’s skirts!”Having said that, Rebecca immediately turned to Charlotte, constantly saying contemptuous words and provoking the relationship between Charlotte and Joseph.“Miss, Joseph is definitely in this house with some rich lady!”“Ah, I remember! It’s definitely the lady at the party the other day! That person named Coco! Surely Joseph used tricks to seduce that lady, then asked that lady to buy this apartment for him!Faced with Rebecca’s insulting words about Joseph, Charlotte remained silent. In her heart, she also implicitly affirmed that what her secretary said was correct. Charlotte did not believe that Joseph could make so much money in such a short time. This apartment was far beyond Joseph’s economic ability.Anthony looked at Joseph with disdain, his play had now officially begun!“Are you the owner of this house? This also means
“I didn’t send that letter!” Joseph affirmed loudly.“So in the end…”The woman was about to step forward and question Joseph when her face suddenly changed. She hugged her neck tightly, her eyes rolling back.The woman fell to the ground.Everyone present there was frightened by the scene before them. Just a few minutes ago that woman was as strong as an elephant and rushed to beat Joseph. Yet now he lies on the ground motionless like that. Not to mention her expression before losing consciousness is enough to haunt others.“What, what, what is the meaning of this!”“Weren’t you still healthy just now?”The employees of Anderson company that Anthony brought could not help but panic because of the scene before them. And of course it wasn’t just them, their boss was also scared to death.They quickly called an ambulance, and Joseph also stood there with his arms crossed. He ran to check on the other woman’s condition but was stopped by Rebecca.“You stay away for a bit!” As she spoke,
“Since when did you become such a cunning and evil person Joseph! How can you indifferently watch someone else die in front of you!” Charlotte shouted loudly, feeling that the person standing in front of her now was extremely strange, Joseph was no longer the gentle and kind man she was used to. When faced with the life and death of others, he still calmly sets conditions.“Do you remember what you were like before? Although you are not talented or outstanding, you are very gentle and extremely kind. You did nothing to make anyone suffer, you even gave all your little money to a single mother just so her daughter could go to school! In just one month, how could you change so much, how could you become so cruel!”Faced with Charlotte's criticism, Joseph remained calm as if nothing happened. He didn't even bother to get angry at her words.Anthony also took the opportunity to join in blaming Joseph.“Even if you don't like me and the Anderson company, you can't stand idly by and watch o
“This, how is this possible!”“No need for modern equipment or machinery, he can pull that person back from the dead!”What just happened was so miraculous. No, to be more precise, it’s too unreasonable! How could Joseph save people with just a few simple things like that!“What kind of genius doctor are you! Why, how could you do that!”The woman’s younger brother knelt on the ground and hugged his sister. This is truly a miracle! His sister is okay, it was the man in front of her who saved her.“Thank you so much, thank you so much! If I don’t have friends today, I don’t know how I will live in the future, how I will talk to my parents, brother-in-law and grandchildren! Thank you very much!”“Thank you very much! You really saved her!The young man cried and spoke. When his sister kept convulsing, her face red and lying unconscious on the ground, he really thought he had lost his sister. Joseph’s appearance was like a miracle!In a corner of the room, Charlotte stood leaning against
Anthony went to the first message section. What caught the eyes of everyone there was the text message Joseph sent to the patient’s family. The content of the message was identical to what the other woman received.“Could it be, could it be that you were the one who threatened my sister!” The young man held his head and looked towards Joseph. His eyes looking at Joseph gradually changed, no longer grateful and admiring, but instead filled with hatred and even disgust.“If I said this phone is not mine, would you believe it?”The atmosphere became strangely quiet. Maybe, that silence is the answer for Joseph. None of the people here believe you.“Okay, let’s put this aside. Don’t you guys want to go to Anderson Company’s drug warehouse to check? Can I go now? I also want to explain myself soon!” Anthony suddenly spoke up. Invisible in the eyes of others, Anthony becomes an understanding and compassionate person. If it weren’t for Anthony, Joseph would certainly have to face questioning
Joseph nodded slightly, not showing any emotion. "Charlotte is still safe, right?" Joseph asked, his voice calm, but his eyes intently watching Coco's reaction. This was his way of probing her, not about Charlotte, but for any sign that she knew or was involved in the death. Coco abruptly lifted her head, her eyes filled with anger. "What are you talking about, Joseph? Why would you ask me that? Do you think I don't care about Charlotte?" The anger in Coco's voice made Joseph realize he had touched on something sensitive. But what was she angry about? Because he suspected her, or because she really had something to hide? "I meant no harm, Coco," Joseph replied, trying to calm the situation. "I just want to make sure everything is okay... between us and with Charlotte." But he knew his words wouldn't soothe her anger. Coco stood up abruptly, her eyes full of frustration and rage. "Joseph, what kind of person do you think I am? I've always been by your side, helping you th
Coco slowly guided Joseph back to his room, each of their steps heavy like the tense atmosphere surrounding them. Joseph was still somewhat intoxicated, but he maintained a calm demeanor, occasionally nodding to the staff they passed along the way. His eyes were fixed ahead, but his mind was swirling with chaotic thoughts about everything that had just happened. Coco walked beside him silently, holding his arm securely, her eyes betraying her concern.At last, the door to the room appeared before them. Coco gently opened it and helped Joseph inside, closing it behind them. As soon as the door shut, the atmosphere in the room changed completely. Outside, the noise and bustle of the party still lingered, but inside, there was only an eerie silence. Faint light filtered through the curtains, casting soft shadows across the room.Joseph turned on the light, a soft golden glow spilling throughout the space. Suddenly, he pushed Coco away, surprising her. He didn’t say a word, instead quietl
Joseph stood amidst the lively atmosphere of the party, but his mind felt lost in a maze of confusion. He tried to piece together the fragments of the events, but the more he thought about it, the more complicated everything became. If Jayce wasn’t the one who killed Charlotte, and he wasn’t behind Mrs. Smith’s death either, then Jayce must be panicking. Two key pawns Jayce had planned to use to threaten him had mysteriously vanished. So, who was behind all of this?Joseph couldn’t stop asking himself questions. “Is there someone silently helping me, or do they have a bigger agenda?” The appearance of a third force in this game could completely change the outcome. This made him uneasy. If someone was helping him, why would they choose such a method? And if they had ulterior motives, was he becoming a pawn in their hands?Looking over at Jayce, Joseph noticed that although Jayce outwardly appeared calm, he was likely in turmoil inside. Coco approached him, her eyes filled with concer
The murmurs in the hall grew louder, and the once formal atmosphere of the party began to descend into chaos. Groups of guests gathered, whispering about the murder near the café. Faces were filled with anxiety, and eyes darted around, searching for an explanation.“Did you hear? The murder case,” a woman in a red dress turned to her companion, her voice trembling. “The killer hasn’t been caught yet, and the police have no leads.”“How terrifying! So close to here too, who would have thought something like this could happen in such a peaceful place,” her friend replied, nervously glancing around.People began to speculate about the murder, with theories spreading quickly and seemingly without end. Everyone presented their own assumptions, creating a tense atmosphere. Some suggested a family feud, while others thought it might be an act of revenge.“It could be robbery gone wrong… or maybe some kind of vendetta? I heard the victim was the mother of a wealthy CEO,” a man suggested.“But
Coco hurried into the party, her eyes scanning the crowd anxiously as she searched for Joseph. She looked around frantically, her breath quickening as she walked swiftly past groups of guests engaged in conversation. Her gaze finally landed on Joseph, who stood near a corner of the room, his face tired and pensive. Coco approached him, unable to hide the worry in her eyes."Joseph!" Coco called softly, her voice a bit urgent. "Where have you been? I didn’t see you at all during the party."Joseph turned to face her, giving a faint smile but maintaining his calm demeanor. "I just stepped out for some personal business, nothing important," he said smoothly, though there was a subtle tension in his eyes that Coco couldn’t ignore.Coco frowned, the uneasy feeling in her heart growing stronger. "Personal business? Are you sure?" she asked gently, her voice full of concern. "I tried calling you several times, but you didn’t pick up. Is something wrong?"Joseph looked straight into Coco’s ey
Charlotte lay motionless on the cold floor, her body still, and the pool of blood beneath her had already dried. The dim light from the room cast down on her pale, lifeless face, creating a heavy and terrifying atmosphere. The room was eerily silent, as if frozen in time, with only the faint sound of wind whistling through the crack in the window, disturbing the unnerving quiet.Suddenly, Charlotte's body twitched slightly. A barely noticeable, sudden movement, but it shattered the oppressive silence of the room. Her eyes, once tightly shut in death, abruptly opened wide, her dull eyes now filled with pain. Though devoid of life, somehow she opened her eyes as if pulled back from the brink of death by an unseen force.Charlotte’s throat convulsed, and suddenly, a dry retch escaped her mouth. Her hands instinctively gripped her neck, struggling to suppress something rising within her stomach. Her body convulsed in extreme agony, and soon after, she began to vomit violently, thick, blac
Joseph stood silently next to Charlotte, the initial horror gradually giving way to a sense of clarity. Though a storm of painful emotions churned inside him, he knew he couldn't let them overwhelm his reason at this moment. Something was off, and his instincts as someone experienced made him want to understand more about the cause of Charlotte's death.Joseph's gaze swept across Charlotte's body, now motionless on the cold floor. Blood had spread across the floor, soaking into her pristine white dress, creating a tragic scene. He knelt closer, his eyes carefully observing the color of her skin and the livor mortis that had already begun to appear.With his forensic knowledge, Joseph noticed that Charlotte's skin had turned a pale gray, with blood pooling beneath the skin, forming dark purple blotches in areas where the blood had settled. This gave him an important clue: Charlotte had been dead for at least 4 to 6 hours. A chill ran down Joseph's spine as he came to this conclusion, a
Joseph and Brian held their breath, trying to remain completely silent in the darkness. From their hiding spot, they could clearly see everything happening around the stairwell. The faint light from the second-floor hallway cast long shadows on the floor below.The sound of footsteps continued to echo, each step pounding in their chests. Then, Tyler's figure appeared, slowly making his way up the stairs from the first to the second floor. In his hand, he held something, not too large in size but wrapped in a black cloth, making it difficult for anyone to discern what it was.A stack of documents, perhaps?Joseph and Brian watched intently, trying to gather every detail. Tyler showed no signs of haste; he moved with a suspicious calmness, as if he had complete control of the situation. When he reached the second floor, Tyler paused, looked ahead, and then continued up without the slightest hesitation.Joseph felt the tension inside him rising with every passing moment. There was someth
Joseph sensed the sudden change in the atmosphere. "What just happened in there?" he thought to himself, his eyes never leaving the scene before him. The bodyguards did not exchange any words, just quickly got into the car at an incredible speed, as if they wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.Brian frowned, a sense of unease filling his heart. "Did you see that? They're panicking," he said, his voice filled with doubt. "Something very unusual happened in the Smith house."Jayce's car immediately started up, the headlights turned on, and it backed away at a much faster speed than when it had come. Joseph and Brian could not believe their eyes as Jayce's car left the Smith house in a hurry and panic. This wasn’t how Jayce would act if everything was going according to plan.Brian nodded, his eyes filled with uncertainty. “It’s obvious something’s very wrong. What do you think we should do next?”Joseph was silent for a moment, his mind racing, trying to figure out what
